My Best Friend's Brother

Sarah's Confession

"I am many things, but I am not a liar."

"Benjamin, I'm not dealing with you and your games right now."

He laughed, "So I take it that you aren't the baby momma? When AJ told me he saw you two at Alonzo's I was almost sure."

"You are lying."

He began to walk away, "Sorry to drop the bomb then leave, but AJ is waiting for me. Don't believe me? Find out for yourself."

He walked to the edge of the park and left in a Mercedes.

My heart throbbed, and I felt like I could throw up. I couldn't face Sarah or Liam, and there was only one other person there that night. Without thinking it through, I pulled out my phone and called Heath.

"Hello?"

"I need to ask you a question."

There was a muffled laugh on the other end, "And what might that be?"

I took a deep breath, "Did Sarah tell you a secret the night she slept with you?"

There was a long pause of silence, "Who did you talk to."

"So it's true?"

His voice changed from pissed to sympathetic, "I'm sorry, Emilie. She was pretty high, she may have been lying."

I tried to form words but my throat was too dry.

"Emilie?"

"I have to go."

I put my phone into my pocket as tears stung in my eyelids. The wind had picked up and the sun was disappearing behind storm clouds.

I sat down on the park bench taking slow deep breaths. I felt like I could vomit. Did I want to believe this? Why hadn't Sarah told me? Is it true?

I sat through the rain not moving from the bench, my phone rang- calls and messages from both Sarah and Liam.

After an hour, I had finally worked up enough courage to go back.

The front door to the White household seems so much more heavy as I pushed it open.

"Emilie is that you?" Sarah called out from the couch.

"It's me."

"Thank God, where have you been?"

My heart starts to beat out of my chest as I connect eyes with her.

"What's wrong?"

I slowly sit down on the couch beside her.

"Emilie?" Liam turns the corner and shows signs of relieve as he lays eyes on me.

With both of them staring at me, I break down. Tears flow down both cheeks and I have trouble calming my breathing.

"What happened?" Liam grabbed my hands.

"Where did you go?" Sarah wipes a tear from my cheek.

I had finally calmed myself enough to speak, I faced Sarah first, "I went to go talk to Benjamin."

"Lex? Why?"

My eyes fell, "He wanted to talk about that night."

Liam started to put the pieces together, "He was there?"

Sarah nodded, "What did he say?"

Her eyes met mine and she knew. She looked away and bit her lip.

"What am I missing here?" Liam stood up.

"He told me that Sarah made confessions that night."

"Emilie, please." Sarah grabbed my arm.

"Confessions of what?" Liam was starting to show signs of annoyance.

I began to open my mouth but Sarah cut me off, "Farrah is pregnant, Liam."

Liam laughed, "Nice try. I haven't seen her in over a year, Sarah."

I felt myself start to breath again, until Sarah spoke.

"That's a lie, and you know it."

He narrowed his eyes at Sarah, "Excuse me?"

She sent me an apologetic look, "She was in town this summer, and I know you met up with her."

By the look on his face I knew it was true.

"It's impossible." Liam mumbled under his breath.

"Well congratulations on your miracle baby."
